title: Retrospective analysis of 102 cases of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas in China.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes in patients with solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas were analysed.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data regarding clinicopathological features, surgery and outcome for patients with SPN were retrospectively collected and analysed. Patients were followed-up by telephone interview.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The study included 102 patients (89 females/13 males), 99 of whom underwent surgical resection. A total of 89 patients (87.3%) were followed-up (mean duration 26.98 months, range 2-95 months); 86 (96.6%) had no relapse or metastasis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgical resection is the primary therapy for SPN, and results in a good prognosis.
